Navigating the complexities of municipal policies and regulations presents unique challenges for participants in today's real estate and development market. Organizations need highly experienced and dedicated municipal law experts with the know-how, resources and reputation necessary to help them succeed and thrive in the complex municipal approvals process.

McMillan's Commercial Real Estate Group is a recognized leader in municipal land use planning and property development law. In fact, since 2003, we have consistently ranked as one of the Top 10 municipal law firms in Toronto and the GTA by Novae Res Urbis. This distinction – which reflects not only the volume and complexity of cases, but also the results achieved – is proof of the power of McMillan's results-oriented approach.
